Saadat Hasan Manto

“Our own folks are disgusting…

We worked our asses off to find and slaughter 50 pigs in the Masjid.

Over there, beef is selling like hot cakes in the temple.

But here, not one asshole has come to buy pork!”

Translator’s note: Pork is strictly forbidden to Muslims. Likewise, beef is strictly forbidden to Hindus (although very few communities do eat beef.) However, upper caste Hindus also do not eat pork.
